I bought a cheap set when I had my silly fibreglass rear bumper, cost £13. They work very well, wiring is all in he boot from the reversing light cables, speaker located behind rear seat. When reversing they go bleep - - -bleep - - -bleep, then bleep-bleep-bleep, then continuous bleep, then CRUNCH.

Thanks to Joff for selling me a bumper with some bounce in it.

I see a pattern forming here , looks like it will be fastened behind rear seat . Maybe near the control unit  :)

Well, as most of you know, I am a crap mechanic, but I have to say, I have fitted at least six sets of these on my cars and neighbours cars. Absolute doddle. I have not taken out panels etc. I have hidden wiring under the sill covers. Only alteration to bodywork is in some cases I had to drill a hole in the tyre well to feed wires.
And, I have to say...the ones I have fitted are a lot better than the original ones fitted to my saloon. !!!!!!

There are plenty of holes at the back of the car to pass wires through without the need to drill holes ..... eg large grommet in the boot floor (which is what the destructions for the GM towbar wiring suggests you use) ..... rear number plate wiring  ;) ;)

I could give you the measurements, but by the time I have explained them, I might as well fit them for you ::)

There are also two guides if you bothered to look.

The parking sensors from the 'Halfords accessory range' were a joke on the Omega.

The factory fitted item on the Signum are excellent :y.....in contrast to the auto wipers. :(

As the Omega is 'potentially' a future classic in the same way as, lets say, a Bugatti Type 35, then yes it can do some harm. :)
